The issue of Health awareness

I have come across a problem recently and have been completely caught unaware about it. My wife was not well and when we went to visit the doctor we were told that she is diabetic. Both of us were sad and shocked to hear the confirmation after complete diagnosis. But soon we realised that being worried about the problem shall not be any solution and we have to take precautionary measures to control the problem as best we can. So we charted out a diet schedule and cut out completely on the un-necessary fizzy drinks, juices & sweets. We shifted from wheat flour to health mix flour made from pulses and whole grains. Full cream milk gave way to low fat and same way for yogurt. Junk food was completely crossed out and the once a week fast food joint visit now is once a month or less. We have got the blood test conducted recently after two weeks of medicine and diet control and to our surprise the results are very positive. The value from 13.6 has come down to 9.7 much closer to the allowed limit of 6. This has happened through our mutual support and understanding and most importantly the Love and affection for the loved one. These kind of problems may arise in our lives and have to be encountered with courage and support. I have found the courage in my life partner and I am here with all my support for her.
